The best chance for rain near Des Moines will hold off until closer to sunset, with showers likely tonight. It should be mostly rain in central Iowa, with some snow or sleet mixing in towards daybreak Thursday.

Some accumulating snowfall will be possible in north central and northwest Iowa tonight into Thursday. Rain will mix with snow in central Iowa late tonight and on Thursday. Road temperatures will be warm enough to melt any snow that falls, but there may be some minor accumulation in grassy areas.

We will transition back to rain by Friday, with a little more dry time expected over the weekend.
